Cooperative Positioning Techniques for Mobile Localization in 4G Cellular Networks

In this paper, we exploit the concept of cooperative localization by utilizing the additional information obtained from short-range links to enhance the location estimation accuracy in forthcoming cellular systems. Simulations for a hybrid WiMAX/Wi-Fi system are carried out considering an outdoor environment, where time difference of arrival (TDOA) and received signal strength (RSS) measurements are combined thanks to advanced data fusion techniques. Results show that the proposed system allows to meet the federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements and overcome the ever changing channel conditions.
